Industry starts locally, but it almost always requires resource input from diverse places. "I Pencil" does a great job of illustrating this effect. Industry needs a cooperative perspective where different regions contribute to industrialization in unique ways determined by their resources and skill sets.

What we want to see is for those relationships be protected and nurtured and not impacted by inputs from distant locations. Free trade pulls money away from regional producers to cheaper, lower quality distant producers, creating pockets of nearby insufficiency and insecurity, i.e. the rust belt.
